We have newly established band 6 nursing posts in preparation for our move to a brand new chemotherapy unit.
About the Role
We are a team of nurses providing Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapies (SACT) and supportive therapies for patients at all stages of their cancer journey in day unit settings to both Oncology and Haematology Patients. This post is based at our West Middlesex site. As part of the Trust's ongoing development, a newly built Chemotherapy unit is fully under construction and is due to open in late 2026.

Nurses within our Trust are expected to ensure that an individual programme of care is planned, implemented, and evaluated for each patient within their own sphere of responsibility. They should work as part of the multidisciplinary team ensuring the delivery of a high standard of care to the patients.
Key Responsibilities
